Sweet heart my family spent a couple of centuries on the Western front.
The basic thing was men did men things, clear land and farm, women did woman things manage the home and train kids.
Where I come from women helped in tobacco work, some could handle a tractor better than me and I have helped my grandmother kill, hang, bleed, and butcher a hog. She was 75 at the time. She could work rings around me, raised 13 kids plus two others that weren’t hers, ran a restaurant, and raised a large garden and what she didn’t give to the less fortunate, she canned.
Grandma was five feet tall, grandpa six feet four, she caught him in a gambling hall, bent her umbrella over his head and dragged him out by his ear. He wasn’t going to blow payday with kids at home. Once she let him know who was boss they got along just fine. A strong woman in tough times, the Great Depression.
